Large number of electrical tools was taken after a garage was broken into at an address in Shaftesbury Avenue, Keresley End.

The break-in took place between 10.30pm on Monday and 7am yesterday.

Among the items stolen were an SDS electric drill, a Clarke electric compressor, two Bosch drills and one further electric drill, with a total value of about £750.

Police have reminded people with electrical tools to ensure they are security marked to enable them to be identified in the event of them being stolen.

A police spokeswoman said: "Mark your property either with your postcode or other distinguishable mark, or with Smartwater, an invisible DNA-based material which has a unique identification and which can then be traced back to the owner.

"Smartwater, which does not mark your property, is available through your local Neighbourhood Watch Association."
